Good Bye and blue skies Bob Hoover
sad news, Bob Hoover passed away...
|
A true legend, hero, and one of the nicest people I have ever met. I didn't even know who he was until later, and he didn't care.
Nobody gets out of here alive, but he sure as **** gave it a great shot! I don't even feel sad. He was one of the greatest of the greatest generation. |
Blue skies and tailwinds Mr. Hoover. It was a pleasure meeting you. You will be missed.
|
RIP.... Great American better Pilot

Movie
RIP Mr. Hoover!
And if any of you'll haven't seen the movie "Flying the Feathered Edge", I'd suggest you log out of here now, and go purchase it online. It is incredible. There's also a nice write-up online about Mr. Hoover today, by our very own Bob Collins. This is indeed RV related, because I'd highly bet that Mr. Hoover's airshow routine inspired MANY people to become pilots, some of which surely migrated to RV's. His airshow routine was superb. |
Sad news indeed.

Great man and never a finer pilot. Always a pleasure to talk to and never got tired of talking airplanes. Fly west my friend, you will be sorely missed. Thankyou for the years of wisdom and keeping the dream alive.

On a related note, anybody want to start a betting pool on the number of combined flight hours that will be represented at his funeral? |
